Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a significant health issue, being the third leading cause of illness and death globally, with submassive PE making up 40% of this burden.
- A study reviewed 22 patients with submassive PE who underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT), showing a successful thrombus removal rate of 82% and no major bleeding complications.
- Results indicated that MT led to shorter hospital stays and lower in-hospital mortality rates compared to standard anticoagulation therapy alone, despite the small sample size.
